sess 5 16/28 1.5

Just did a set of 28 today because I'm getting ready to leave for vegas. Ran a little bad, made a few calls I shouldn't have, but still made a little profit. Maybe play a little live when I get there, but I'll still be looking to get 80 or says games in later.

sess 4 22/41 2.5

Brutal session. Started out laying KK down on J35 board to a reg who turned out to have aces. Thought this might be a good sign, but I lost 11 of my first 12 tournies. All those hands that had held up the last few days, couldn't today. There was one reg who twice called my all ins with straight draws and hit both times. I was a little shellshocked from this rough start played a little more aggresively than I should have. Because of this, and the fact I hadn;t eaten today, I decided to end my session early. My pokerstars check finally came so I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow. I figured I'd give myself the afternoon of since I'll be playing 10 hours a day for the next few weeks or more. Really need to get my tilt under control. Turned what could have been a small profit session into a break even one. Definitely need to eat at least somehting in the morning before I start a long session.

sess 3 47/74 3.75

Roller coaster session. Started off amazingly hot, prob won 17 of my first 20. Then the internet went out for 20 min and when it came back seven of my tournies had ended and I think I only won one of them. Then i thought id clicked "I'm back" on all of them but over the next hour i lost 3 tournies I had been sitting out of. I had planned to play for five to six hours but these problems, along with getting bad beat a few times had me in a state I didn't want to be playing in. After the internet cut out, I 3bet shoved light knowing I'd prob be called twice, which is basically burning money in DONs. After about ten minutes I stopped tilting and played the rest of my session pretty well. Competetion seemed pretty soft today. There are a lot of soft MTTs on sundays too so it's gonna be hard to decide which to play. Even with all the problems I had today, I still finished up 14 BIs over four hours, which I guess I should be happy with. I just can't stop thinking about what could have been. Oh well.

Sess 2 21/26 1.5

Another short session today. I'm hoping to leave for vegas in a few hours. Today i went 21/26 playing for 1.5 hours. The sess started rocky with AA(A7 TTT(JJJ and my trip 8s getting outkicked. These are laydowns I could have made but at this level I just don't give people credit for big hands and I think in the longrun, it's more profitable not to. After that everything pretty much went my way. I don't really suck out on anyone, but all my hands held up and it's always nice when that happens. I thought my bubble play was nearly perfect and I'm getting better at not watching the results of all ins.

MTT sess

My mtt session went pretty well. My total bi for these was 23.2 and i netted a profit of 28.8. I cashed in 3 of my 6 events. 3 of 104 in a razz event, 23 of 735 in a shorthanded PLO8 event and 4 of 45 in a NLH sng. I'm doing these more for practice than profit right now. I felt like I played really well, but I definiltey see where I could have played better. Especially in the omaha event. This is one of my first experiences with a solo razz event and I think this will really help with the razz portion of the multigame tourneys i play. I find myself tightening up around the button, something which I really need to get rid of if I'm going to maximize my profit in MTTs. I definitely want to start playing for MTTs. My ROI is these is around 50 percent which is about four times what is is for DONs. That being said, these don't offer the same dollar per hour profit which the DONs do, and since poker is my sole source of income right now, I probably wont be able to dedicate more than 10 hours a week to them. Still, it was a nice change of pace for the grind which is multitabling DONs and it was actually fun playing poker for the first time in a while. I've been making some decent runs in MTTs recently and I'm starting to think that they are going to end up being the most profitable thing for my poker career. But until then, I'll just keep grinding the DONs.

Sess 1

Today I played for 2.8 hours and went 32/47. I took a couple of nasty beats early, but I felt like I ignored them and played well. I had been 30 tabling the last few days so doing 26 felt pretty easy. I was trying to not watch my all ins both to get to other tables faster and also so I wouldn't see bad beat and get tilted. I did this more than I have in the past, but I still have a lot to work on. This session was shorter than what I want to do, but I'm going to play some MTTs tonight and I wanted to get some food first. Fri nights are usually pretty soft for SNGs so i hope its the same for MTTs.

Back

Even though I havent posted in a while, I've still been playing. In the last three months I've earned 2640 from SNGs and another 400 or so from MTTs and FPP bonuses. I gave up trying to multi ring games as cash games online are tough to beat and extremely frustrating. I have played around 400 10.8 DONs with an ITM around 58 percent.

I am in the process of moving so once I am settled I think I will move up to these permanently. For about the last two months I have been running continous sets where I enter tournaments as I finish others. This is the best way to maximize hour profit. I was up to doing 30 but I found it to be a little to fast so now I'm doing 26 to start and keeping 22 going til i finish. I have noticed that my ITM has dipped a little as I have added more tables, but the profit per hour is better and thats all that matters. I have also started avoiding entering DONs when i see regs who i know are good. Some want regs in their games because theyre easy to steal from, but I'd much rather have someone that cashes 40 to 50 percent of the time than someone who does it 55 to 60 percent of the time. I feel my endgame has gotten a lot better these past few months, but my starting game still needs some work. I let bad beats at one table loosen me up at others which costs me a lot of money.

I've started to work out and meditate before sessions which will help me keep an even temperment and play to the best of my abililty. I also am going to start logging my sessions and putting them here so I can get better hourly figures and for self evaluation.
